I look on Glee the way I look at 30s musicals--tedious and heavy-handed dialogue punctuated with the occasional great line, unbelievable and sometimes plain stupid stories punctuated with dancing and singing. I ignore the crap for the sake of moments like Kurt singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to his dad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Part of me wants the show to take a stand and definitively make Sheldon asexual, because TV needs more asexual characters. But on the other hand, he would be a sterotype that Aces don't necessarily want (NT geek). But on the other OTHER hand, he's awesome, and would therefore be a good representation of asexuality (but then, that's my opinion, since I'm also an NT geek, and not the best person to decide who's a good representative of asexuality).
But on the other other OTHER hand (I have many hands; I am a Stephalopod), now I TOTALLY want Sheldon and Amy to get smoochy for reals.

You know, I totally meant to type NON-NT. Geez. Anyway, NT is "neurotypical" (a term coined by people in the autism community to refer to people who aren't on the autism spectrum; I've seen it used a lot, though, used by people with AD/HD to refer to people without AD/HD).
Anyway, I meant to refer to Sheldon as non-NT. Although the show has deliberately avoided saying that Sheldon has Asperger's, he certainly displays a lot of those traits.
And geek because, well, he's a geek.
